Testlio needs to run tests on specific devices to reliably deliver valuable results. Verifying your devices helps you make sure that the information about your devices is up-to-date so that you are eligible for testing on specific devices.

If you have been invited to complete a task that requires a specific mobile or tablet device, you may need to verify your device before you test.

Verify a Device

To verify a mobile device or tablet, follow these steps:

  1. Click ✅Verify device.

  2. Scan the QR code or, alternatively, open the link in your device.

  3. Wait for device to be verified.

  4. Click Continue.

Your device is now verified and you can continue with testing.

What To Do If Verification Doesn’t Work

There are two possible reasons the verification could fail:

  • A mismatch (the information from your device doesn’t match the data in the Testlio platform)

  • An error (no information was collected)

Testing with a device that does not match the information entered in the Testlio platform represents a breach of the Freelancer Services Agreement. Try to verify your device. Reach out to your Test Lead if you are having issues with verification.

Mismatches

The data collected by the Testlio platform might not match what you entered in the platform for two reasons:

  • The information you entered is outdated (such as an OS update).

  • The Testlio platform collected incorrect data.

If your device doesn’t match the data collected by the Testlio platform, you have two options:

  • Click Update device & continue to update the data in the Testlio platform and continue the task with this device marked as verified.

  • Click Ignore collected info to keep the existing data, mark the device as unverified, and continue the task. This allows you to continue if the verification process has an error.

If your device information wasn’t updated in the platform before you accepted the task, reach out to your Test Lead immediately, as outlined in the device guide.

Failures

If the verification process fails, you have two options:

  • Click Try again to try the process again.

  • Click I was unable to verify my device to mark the device as unverified and continue the task.

Failures can occur for reasons outside your control. If the process fails, please try again at least twice. If all three tries fail, let your Test Lead know and continue the task. Testlio reviews all failures to check for compliance and to solve any issues blocking verification.
